Staying at a hotel is like an escape from everday reality. For many, it holds a sort of magical power of beauty and style that allows the traveler to relax and unwind for a bit. An outstanding hotel will offer relief from the mundane if it offers three things: comfort, service, and an incredible view! It is essential to choose a hotel that provides you with a view that you will never forget. Whether it is a view of the ocean, the mountains, or the flashy neon lights of a big city. If you allow yourself this luxury, you will come away from your trip truly refreshed and rejuvenated.

Sunset Magazine says…
“Grand” in this case, refers both to over-the-top amenities and enormous proportions. The Villas contain living room and bathroom fireplaces, cascading waterfall showers, giant jetted whirlpool tubs, and curiously, electric bread makers- guests check in to the aroma of freshly baked bread…decorative themes run the gamut, from rustic mountain to formal Tuscan.”
